UK Police To Step Up Hacking of Home PCs
toomanyairmiles writes "The Times of London reports that the United Kingdom's Home Office has quietly adopted a new plan to allow police across Britain to routinely hack into people's personal computers without a warrant. The move, which follows a decision by the European Union's council of ministers in Brussels, has angered civil liberties groups and opposition MPs. They described it as a sinister extension of the surveillance state that drives 'a coach and horses' through privacy laws."
Well the issue is how do you reduce deaths due to stabbings? One way would be to reduce access to long pointed knives. I would be happy not to have a pointed kitchen knife if it would save only one life. Anyway its just a suggestion from a group of people who deal with the stab wounds and deaths related to these knives.
So we should just accept young people murdering each other with knives ? I don't have much to say to that.
